CLOUD SECURITY INSIGHT BRIEF

Top 10 Reasons to Deploy Mitiga Cloud Detection
and Response in Conjunction with CNAPP Technologies

So Should Your Cloud Defenses.

The Cloud Threat Landscape Is Evolving.

Cloud intrusions are no longer 
an exception — they are the norm.

Attackers aren’t breaking in anymore. They’re logging in. Cloud intrusions are up 136% over last year as AI amplifies both attack speed and exposure. Defenders now need a dual-layer strategy that protects AI adoption while detecting and responding to AI-driven threats. Real resilience requires pairing posture management with Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) for real-time detection, rapid incident response, and proactive defense against breaches.

Compounding this challenge, adversaries are leveraging  artificial intelligence to:

Generate highly convincing phishing campaigns. 

Automate credential stuffing and brute force attacks.

Develop enhanced ransomware and malware at scale.

Mimic normal user behavior to avoid detection.

The takeaway

Static prevention-based posture management is no longer enough. Organizations need preemptive, real-time defenses that detect and preemptively stop the intrusions and attacks that get it, before they escalate into breaches.

Top 10 Reasons to Deploy 
Mitiga’s AI-Native Cloud 
Detection & Response

Complement Your CNAPP with AI-Native Zero-Impact Breach Prevention

1

Posture Management Falls Short

CSPM & CNAPPs fix misconfigurations but can’t stop live attacks. Mitiga acts when posture-based prevention fails, detecting and mitigating active threats in real time.

2

Attackers Log In, 
Not Break In

Mitiga detects abuse of valid credentials, federated identity paths, and SaaS integrations that traditional posture tools 
can’t see.

3

Misconfigurations Aren’t the Only Risk

Misconfigurations may open the door, but attackers exploit privilege escalation and lateral movement. Mitiga monitors every phase of the attack.

4

Alerts Without Context Waste Time

Mitiga turns raw alerts into visual forensic timelines, 
showing what happened, when, and why it matters.

5

CNAPP Snapshots Miss Real-Time Threats

Periodic scans leave gaps. Mitiga monitors continuously, 
surfacing anomalies and threats as they unfold.

6

Compliance Isn’t Resilience

Passing audits doesn’t stop breaches. Mitiga shrinks dwell time, accelerates response, and ensures attackers get nothing.

7

SOC Alert Fatigue 
Is Real

Helios AIDR filters noise, cuts triage time by 90%, and delivers decision-ready context.

8

Response Is the Most Underfunded Layer

When CNAPPs fail, Mitiga strengthens the underfunded layer, ensuring your SOC can preemptively stop attacks before damaging breaches occur.

9

Hunting Must Be Proactive

Mitiga proactively hunts with its Cloud Attack Scenario Library (CASL), uncovering persistence mechanisms and hidden abuse before they escalate.

Zero-Impact 
Breach Prevention

Let them come.

Conclusion

CSPM and CNAPP lock the doors, but attackers are already logging in with stolen keys. Mitiga’s AI-native CDR platform and Helios AIDR technology ensure your SOC can see, Gtriage, and stop them before your organization becomes the next headline.
